Before we get started, I feel that it is best to preface this review with a confession of sorts. While I am a lover of music, this being a passion that is second only to gaming, I must admit that my tastes have often leaned towards the nostalgic, with very […]

Foxyland is the latest and greatest from Ratalaika Games. OK, that’s maybe pushing it a little bit but it’s a return to what certain sections of their audience expect. The developer is Bug-Studio, who have previous form in recent run and gunner Deep Space Rush. Foxyland is a fun enough […]

From Kaigan Games by way of Wales Interactive comes Simulacra. Originally released a couple of years ago as an iOS game, Simulacra is a faithful port even down to how it is presented on PS4, though it’s not exactly pushing the envelope presentation-wise. Your view into the game world is […]

I feel like sniping’s one of the coolest things you can do in a shooter. It will always look precise, patient and require great timing. It’s funny how I’ve tended to avoid games that revolve entirely around it. Along comes GI Games’ Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts to break me in […]

Much like with Aliens, Predator and Robocop, the Terminator franchise is one that I love dearly. Each of the above have one common theme however and that is that beyond the first sequel, things they all begin a death spiral, culminating in such contrivances as Robocop 3, Alien Covenant and […]

While EA’s Star Wars: Battlefront titles have kept sociable gamers relatively happy this generation, we’ve all been crying out for a decent single player Star Wars game for years now. The recent re-release of Jedi Outcast reminded us of how much fun it was to run around a virtual world with a lightsaber, […]

From Romanian indie developer Breadcrumbs by way of publisher Versus Evil, comes action RPG Yaga. Having the publisher of the Banner Saga games onboard has definitely helped in terms of the additional polish with a fully voiced complement of varied NPCs as well as a sumptuous art style. Yaga is […]

Narcos: Rise of the Cartels is an XCOM style, turn based strategy game on PS4. It’s based on the Netflix series Narcos and lets you play as either the DEA trying to stop the drug lords or the Narcos trying to run your business. I’ve only watched one episode of […]

Roguelites are a tough genre for me to get into. The random nature of them can sometimes make me struggle to find a foothold whilst the permanence they do offer sometimes tends to fall short. Sparklite, from Red Blue Games offers a cutesy, retro aesthetic with a more accessible blend […]

We rather enjoyed Need For Speed Payback, which apparently is a controversial opinion because everyone else didn’t enjoy Ghost Games’ last outing, but hardcore fans of the series can rejoice because Need For Speed Heat is a throwback to the series high points of Underground and Underground 2 which means that the […]

From Polish dev Varsav Games comes Bee Simulator, published by BigBen. However the title is something of a misnomer. Sure, you go around collecting pollen and exploring a simulacrum of Central Park. But for most part Bee Simulator is broken down into a series of disparate minigames. There’s a story […]

Football Game, despite what its name might suggest, doesn’t have much to do with either round or oval shaped variants. The titular football game is your ultimate goal anyway. Football Game is a one-shot story released by Ratalaika, so barring a couple of missable trophies you’ll be done within an […]
